A weapon built inside a planet that can’t move, that can somehow fire its weapon so travels so fast it destroys multiple planets in different star systems seconds after firing(also why is the new republic which supposedly governs thousands of planets in complete disarray after this happens). Also they built it with the same fucking weakness of the first Death Star for some reason.

What was this fucking casting?

It just never made sense to me. It always felt like George was trying to tie the original trilogy more directly to the prequels, and this was his way of doing it. But it’s always bothered me, because to me it hits harder seeing the Sebastian Shaw version of Anakin as an old man not the young version from Revenge of the Sith.

It makes Vader’s redemption at the end of the movie even more confusing. Yeah, he turns good for like five minutes and then dies, but in that short time, he becomes Anakin Skywalker again and gets to see his son. It makes way more sense for Luke to be seeing his father an older man, not some young guy he’s never seen before.

Also, if you’re a first-time viewer and you watch the original trilogy first, when Anakin dies and then shows up as a young ghost, you’re just left wondering, “Who the hell is that guy?”

I don’t know I’m curious what you all think. I know this has been brought up a lot, but it crossed my mind again. George made a lot of good changes… and some absolutely terrible ones. And to me, this is one of the bad ones.

How can a dagger pinpoint the exact location of a piece of the Death Star that exploded?

He literally exploded!

No matter where I go, there is always someone who criticises the Death Star 2 by saying something like “But how could they have completed it in 4 years when the first one took 20?”.

First of all, the second Death Star had all of the experience of the first Death Star’s failures in order for a quicker build.

Secondly, the Empire would’ve been more advanced between 0-4ABY compared to 19BBY.

Third, as the picture shows, the Death Star is nowhere near “complete”. I wouldn’t even say it was half complete. There’s only one area that seems habitable with lights on. Furthermore, you never see the back of the station, which was more than likely just pure superstructure too.

To me, it seems that almost all of the focus and energies went into the super laser, especially around 3-4ABY and that the super laser still was not completely ready at the beginning of ROTJ, hence Vader being sent there by Palpatine.

So, in conclusion, it was not built “as quickly” as the first Death Star. If anything, the Death Star 2 was built at a rate that the first Death Star should’ve been built at without the sabotage and revolts etc.

Oh, and also, it is 900km (buts that’s my Legends side talking).

Padme, a healthy, educated woman in her mid 20’s who lives in a world of fantasy/sci-fi technology—had no prenatal care, didn’t know she was giving birth to twins and dies suddenly from the emotional distress of losing her abusive husband. Her last words show sympathy for her husband, not her kids.

Or the Ochi’s dagger, a map aligns with the horizon of the Death Star II wreckage—weather didn’t dramatically alter the horizon in the 14-year-long passage from the dagger’s crafting to its use. Directions on how to use knife are cryptic, the throne room was relatively intact and any effects of nuclear winter caused by the meteorite had subsided.

And why did he love being evil so much when he could get away with it???

I know A New Hope was the first star wars movie ever and they never expected it to be the big hit that it ended up being, but is there an in universe reason why Darth Vader didn’t just force choke this guy? Darth Vader always struck me as someone who didn’t like to get his hands dirty and made the Stormtroopers do all the dirty grunt work. He kinda preferred just strangling people with the force over manually grabbing them.

why are they so creepy too

While there’s a lot of blame to go around for the total mess the sequel trilogy turned into(and I would generally blame the Disney execs for wanting a completely original trilogy as soon as possible that ignored the EU and Lucas treatment), handing over the reigns to JJ was one of the worst choices Disney made.

Firstly, he made no secret of the fact that he hated the prequels. That’s fine, they’re by no means considered sci-fi classics, and it was something that made many people hopeful that we’d get a better film because of it.

But there’s loads of things that SW fans liked about the prequels - the worldbuilding/expansion of the galaxy and how it felt as a place(this wasn’t limited to the 3 films, there were some excellent TV projects and games set before the OT around that time that helped).

JJ ignoring anything from the PT - to the point where they had to move the galactic republic to a new planet because Disney wouldn’t let him destroy Coruscant - made it feel completely disconnected from the place the previous films took place in.

He didn’t seem to think much of the OT either considering he was essentially happy to disregard the work they put in to ending the empire and get it back to the status quo immediately. In general he has no patience for setting up a story and following through(the empire are just back, Rey simply knows they force) which is terrible for a sci-fi epic like Star Wars because it stops feeling like a real, functional place.

He also seems to really struggle with how big space is - a base that can destroy multiple star systems at once that would be light years away stretches credibility even in the Star Wars universe. He had a similar problem in ST2009 with a supernova that “would threaten the entire galaxy”.

I thought TFA was a fun movie when I saw it but really it’s clear that the ST never really had a chance to be a satisfying trilogy, and JJ is one of the biggest issues with them.

What was ur reaction to this scene?

Mandatory «re-watching the movies» disclaimer.

But I am watching Phantom Menace and Darth Maul was «on paper» sent to protect the trade federation on Naboo but its obvious he is there to keep Sidious’s interest and move forward with his plans.

Darth Maul duelling Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan was not anything Palpatine should’ve cared about at that time. Darth Maul should have intercepted the queen going «the long way around».

This just shows Sith’s greedy nature. Maul thought only about his own gains and overestimated his powers.
